The speaker argues that Meghan Markle's public claims about her time in the monarchy are unreliable and potentially damaging. He raises concerns about what Harry knew and why the situation could become a serious problem for the British royal family.
Speaker A
You know, chums, in my opinion, this whole debacle that we're having right now with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and let's just be honest, I mean, the untruthfulness, you know, whatever people want to say, I know the mainstream media are trying to portray this as, you know, people are being unkind to Megan and, oh, you know, and you'll notice, like in the magazines, she's struggling, she's bursting into tears.She's known about this for 10 years.Right.And this is where it's a very dangerous moment, in fact, in my opinion, for the British monarchy, because whatever she says next in public could be very detrimental.Remember, Markle went on camera to basically say that she asked for help while inside the monarchy and got nothing.
Apparently her words, quote, it would be bad for the institution.And we've all said this and various other commentators have agreed on this, that, you know, if Harry had so much access to the world of therapy, mental health, mental well being, and she claims that she was so depressed and so disorientated and had terrible suicidal thoughts, well, what was he doing?And apparently he only realized when he woke up to find her crying.Right.I mean, none of this stuff is relatable or indeed believable.I mean, yeah, you might think that's wrong, but it's not believable because consequently, the story always changes.Or of course, did Harry know about this particular narrative long before anybody else?And the reason why I say it's detrimental and possibly could be again, allegedly for the British monarchy, is if she decides to claim that she did speak to someone about this and she didn't know anything about it, well, then it becomes a huge problem.
And it's like I told you on our show the other day, the Metropolitan Police, the British Met Pleasure, would be very keen to sit down with Markle because obviously a lot of time has passed.
The discussion shifts to possible police interest, the passage of time, and the wider fallout involving Thomas Markle's family. It also connects the controversy to the couple's media deals and suggests the original story has been monetized repeatedly.
Speaker A
I'm not blaming them at all because ultimately, if nobody reactivates, it puts any pressure on it, you know, maybe the Met police figured out, well, she's disappeared now to America.
If she thought it was such a big deal, why hasn't she come back hammering it home?And then of course, we have the fact that it's the ex wife of Thomas Markle Sr. And just to clarify, I'm not decrying anything that allegedly has been put against this particular individual, but nothing has been proven.Right.We know in about a week's time that the Filipino authority can go in and search certain things or start to activate stuff.I would suggest the worst People that will come out of this, in fact will be Thomas Markle Jr.
He has portrayed himself, in my opinion, in a very bad light, rushing off to the newspapers, basically.It's come out about allegedly how much he got.It just looks, well, unedifying to say the least.The problem now though, that's escalating over here in the United Kingdom, particularly for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, is remember, they've made a colossal amount of money on the back of their original story, an original story that they've sold not once but twice, but, you know, however many times.And Harry's talked about exactly how difficult it was for his wife and the difficulty for his wife, of course, is the fact that she found such a strain being here, etc.
Now when you apply that, say for instance to a multi dollar deal with of course Netflix, who made a series out of it, and of course Oprah Winfrey.Well, according to my sources, Oprah is steaming as ever.
The speaker introduces Oprah Winfrey and argues that she is unhappy about the Meghan and Harry interview. He criticizes the interview as a crass business move and notes that the full version is difficult to find online.
Speaker A
Let me explain.Morning, chums.Welcome back.Thank you so much for joining me and welcome one and all brand new subscribers.It is lovely to have your company.The thing is you have to be careful when you're doing anything, like tell all books and stuff like that.As I've often said with many celebrities that I've worked with, you know, it's very easy for people to come up with salacious stuff, sensationalism.But you know, first of all, you have to back it up.
And secondly, you have to make sure and well be open to the repercussions that can occur.And they can occur because of course people can counteract that and say simply not true.Now when you look at this particular friendship, which is Oprah Winfrey and of course Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey knows where the stories are.You know, she's built a career on basically being at the right time as a confessional to all major stars, whether it be Liberace, whether it be Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson.They sat down with Oprah Winfrey because she appeared to have a caring, sharing nature, non judgmental and, you know, was there to, you know, shape the narrative to put them in a better view.In many people's eyes.This is exactly what they did with Meghan and Harry.Remember, they chose to share the gender reveal of Harry's daughter on Oprah Winfrey.
Now, it's unclear whether anybody in the royal family knew about the real gender reveal of Le Lily.But ultimately it's crass, right?I mean, it's just crass.So you decide to do that.On that show for money, one might surmise.And as I've often said here on our show, that wasn't a particularly good deal.It was a good deal in terms of money, you know, what you get.
But it could have been worth a lot more.You could have had a cut of the ad breaks, you could have had a cut of the residuals.And I think everything you need to know about the way that Oprah Winfrey feels about that interview tells you the fact that it's virtually unfindable on the Internet.You can find clips that other people have got, but the absolute full interview from her which normally would have remained up is nowhere to be seen.
This section focuses on Oprah's reaction to revisiting the interview and her past support for Meghan's ventures. The speaker suggests she may now be reconsidering the situation and even thinking about a public apology.
Speaker A
You could understand exactly also how squeamish she felt when she recently sat down with a magazine who I thought rather astutely made her sit back and watch the highlights of said interview.Right.I mean, look at it that way.Doesn't look particularly good, does it?There she is sitting there and they're saying, what are you.Oh, oh, silenced.Oh, where did that come from?She was totally embarrassed.Remember, this is a woman who also publicly backed the Markle's adventures into being an entrepreneur.Clever coffee, remember that?And you know, she said, oh, my coffee mornings are great and da, da, da.And then she recommended certain things for Markle.And this looked like the relationship that Markle really wanted, wanted, you know, as a person struggling as an actress.Many people revered Oprah Winfrey because she was the biggest tabloid interviewer, a worldwide self icon, if you like, that it interviewed mixed and mingled with everybody.
The good, the bad, and many might say, the ugly.Now things are taking a darker turn.
And this is because, according to my excellent sources, you know, Oprah Winfrey now is toying with the idea.Does she now need to make some kind of public apology to the monarchy?Because, I mean, again, I have to say, allegedly at this point.But this is what I've been told from an excellent source.The problem is, you might have said due diligence and perhaps a little bit different in the way that it was put together.
The final chapter questions whether the interview was a business arrangement and whether the story was fully truthful. It ends by arguing that Meghan still has not explained herself and that whatever she says next could affect the monarchy.
Speaker A
You wouldn't need to do this, right?If you recall, she was invited to the royal wedding on the proviso that she was going to get this interview.This was purely a business arrangement.And, you know, as I said, I'm not knocking Oprah Winfrey.I get what she's about.
She's a business mogul.She's selling things, a magazine, a TV channel, streaming, podcast, you name it, right?And she's seen as a reputable figure or was for many years across America now, though, and this is the great question, isn't it?You see, she's questioning exactly some of the narrative and the timeline of that.What she basically means and what the team mean, I would surmise, is that.What?Well, was this really the real story?Because if you didn't confess this particular story, an element in the timeline of when they were talking about, well, how true were all the other things?You know, the colour of the baby's skin, for instance.Likewise the fallout with Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
It throws everything back into the melting pot.I'm not suggesting otherwise, that these are not the statements.But you understand, if you put them, if you put yourself in that particular narrative, none of it looks good or indeed impressive.And the one thing queens of daytime TV do not like is to be called out and made to look a fool.Meghan Markle has yet to explain herself.
And no doubt in this sabbata donor way of where she's gone to try and find herself or indeed collate the next story, all remains to be seen.And as I said on our show, the bottom line is whatever she says next could be impactive to the British monarchy.And there lies the true problem.But apparently, according to sources, Oprah is Oprah and out.Oh, yes.
